shoulder pain

I'm only 19 but have been suffering with achy & burning shoulders for about 3 years now. Although i have had periods of relief, no amount of physio or rotator cuff strengthening seems to alleviate the pain. I have been weightlifting consistently regardless, but the constant clicking/popping &...

Hello, I am a 30 year old man and have dealt w TMS for 3.5 years. I have seen a TMS doctor various times, all of which he told me that I have TMS. I for some reason still struggle deeply with the disorder. I have spoken personally w Steve Ozanich, who also has told me I fit all the...

Hi all, This forum is amazing. I'm a new member but have been browsing for awhile! I'm a 25-year-old female and classic TMS personality. I discovered Dr. Sarno and this theory last year while suffering from sudden onset and debilitating RSI in my hands; my work in digital marketing is 100% at...

Hi to all. I have posted on this site before and received some very helpful and friendly advice. However, whilst I am convinced my problem is chronic tight muscles over and around my right scapula causing an ache and burning sensation and people here have already suggested it is TMS, I can't...

My TMS shows up as neck and shoulder pain. I used to lift weights, but stopped because it always seemed to aggravate my shoulders. Well, I got frustrated a few weeks ago when I couldn't even do one push up!! I hadn't realized how much strength I'd lost. So I decided to use these techniques to...

This is my first time posting here. I figured since I’m bored at work I can spare a few minutes to hopefully give others some confidence. First off my name is Dan. I am 33 years old and have suffered from various weird pains for most of my childhood into my 20’s. My personality traits growing...

Three years ago, I started experiencing chronic shoulder pain, and had to stop pursuing my favourite hobby - rock climbing. The more I tried to heal it (through physiotherapy and rest initially), the worse it got. I had a costly MRI which revealed something called a HAGL lesion - a ligament in...

Hi Everyone, Has anyone experienced shoulder pain as TMS? I've had a sore shoulder for months now, with restricted range of motion. The MRI shows a partial rotator cuff tear. Physical therapy and a cortisone shot were unhelpful. The doctors here are telling me that only surgery will fix...

Hi! I feel a bit secure about if I'm doing this post correctly? Don't understand all the choices and options. Please excuse me if I'm doing wrong here. I'm just trying to post a question. I've managed to heal myself in my back, hips and legs to the point the pain no longer rules my life thanks...

After 20 plus years of TMS and over five years of doing the work and not giving up, but giving in, I can finally say I am CURED! From nerve and muscle pain, IBS, balance issues, rib spasms, “carpal tunnel and other weird shoulder crap to pelvic and back pain and more, I have kicked TMS to the...

Hi there, Just posting this because I really don't know what to do and am a bit worried. This time last week I was working out at the gym and had the feeling I'd overworked my arms and shoulders a bit (despite doing exercises in the correct form as shown by instructors and gradually increasing...

Hi everyone, I would like to take stock of this last period. A few weeks ago the psychological approach really worked, I was free of significant pain for about four weeks. In the last episode, in particular, I managed to convince myself, relaxing, that until I could not have faith in the TMS...

Hi all. Until now all of my TMS issues have effected my left side. This includes Sciatica pain, leg and foot pain, which all went away with learning, reading, listening and most importantly believing in Dr. Sarno's theory about TMS. However I started (yesterday ) to get sensitivity on my right...

Im 26 and am a regular weight lifter. Nothing heavy or crazy, just try to stay in shape. In 2016 I developed pain in both knees. doctor said it was runners knee. I did PT and it didn't get rid of it but eventually after 6 months it went away. Last January in 2017, I developed lower back pain as...

Hey Guys Thought I’d introduce myself (It’s pretty lengthy sorry but would really appreciate any thoughts) I’m an 18 year old dude, been having chronic pain since about age 14/15. Had back pain while playing rugby , it got worse , had it checked out -> spondylosisthesis. Stopped playing...

Just wanted to make a post for those who are dealing with fear, skepticism, disbelief, or worry. To me, overcoming TMS = overcoming fear. Understanding the information in the great Dr. Sarno’s books, lectures, movie, videos, etc. are definitely helpful in overcoming TMS symptoms. For me...

so about a year ago i tried various doctors for my herniated lumbar disc which i was depressed about and thinking about constantly. after reading sarnos and steve o book i went back to the gym and enjoyed my workouts. heres the thing, ive been doing full body workouts 2-3 days a week but ever...

So, just passed my seven month mark at my job. Was in a very stressful position with content writing, and then moved over to blog just this month. I thought maybe that would help quell some of my stress, and bring down some of the pain that has resurfaced, but unfortunately, it has not. Yes, the...

As I continue to work on my TMS via journaling and reading (Sarno, Schubiner, etc.), I am still having grave difficulty sleeping. Due to back pain (fractured vertebra), I can only sleep on my sides, but after a while the shoulders (one of which has a 65% tear of the supraspinatus tendon and...

I am now celebrating almost a year of having my life back! I’d had RSI symptoms (and many other unexplained health problems) for 1.5 yrs, but found my way to TMS. Once you understand TMS, you’ll understand that everything I write about below ties back to it very clearly. MY BACKSTORY AND...
